Like ‘The Following’ Or Not, It Has Some Awesome Music

There are some who really don’t like The Following, the psychological thriller TV series that stars Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy and is currently on its second season on FOX. I can understand why but I’ll fully admit that I kinda dig it. It’s absolutely ludicrous but it’s cheesy enough that I have a lot of fun watching it. Plus, it can get pretty gruesome and dark, which is always a plus.

But regardless of whether or not you enjoy it the show is definitely doing awesome when it comes to the licensed tracks. In recent episodes both Mourning Ritual‘s amazing, eerie cover of “Bad Moon Rising” (originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival) and Ki:Theory‘s “Stand By Me” (originally by Ben E. King) have been used to great effect. It’s tracks like these that make me appreciate the hell out of a good cover, especially when it changes the entire feel, creating something else entirely. Listen to both of these tracks below.

Oh, and if you dig the “Stand By Me” cover, you can download the album it’s on for free right here.

‘M3GAN 2.0’ – Ivanna Sakhno and Allison Williams Starring in Horror Sequel

Blumhouse is bringing killer doll M3GAN back to the screen in M3GAN 2.0 in 2025, and Deadline reports today that Ivanna Sakhno (Let It Snow, “Ahsoka”) has signed on to star.

Ivanna Sakhno is said to have a “major role” in the upcoming sequel.

The follow-up from Universal and Blumhouse will release in theaters on May 16, 2025.

Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are back for the sequel, with Akela Cooper (Malignant, M3GAN) once again writing the script and James Wan on board to produce.

SPOILER WARNING: M3GAN ends with the titular doll being destroyed, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned from the Child’s Play franchise it’s that killer dolls can never truly be killed!

M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to.

When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.
